Abstract
With an area of just 1.95 km2, the Principality of Monaco (French, Principauté de Monaco; Monegasque, Principatu de Múnegu) is the second smallest country in the world. French is the official language and the medium of instruction at school. The constitution declares Roman Catholicism to be the state religion. The Education Act, passed in 2007 (Loi no 1.334 sur léducation), is the legal basis of schooling in the principality. It stipulates compulsory schooling for all children and young people between the age of 6 and 16. The education system is governed by the Department of National Education, Youth and Sports (Direction de lÉducation Nationalede la Jeunesse et des Sports), part of the Home Ministry.
